Milk and Honey Owner to Do Beer and Wine — and Queens!

Sasha Petraske, owner of <a href=http://nymag.com/listings/bar/milk_and_honey/index.html>Milk and Honey</a> and <a href=http://nymag.com/listings/bar/little_branch/index.html>Little Branch</a>, not to mention one of the city's most revered mixologists, plans on expanding his mini-empire. Shockingly &#8212; for those who aren't aware that Petraske worked at <a href=http://nymag.com/listings/bar/von/index.html>Von</a> before conquering the cocktail world &#8212; the new venture will be a wine-and-Belgian-beer bar; he's calling it the Mighty Ocelot ("I really like cats," he tells us). Petraske first applied for a beer-and-wine license at 226 Broome Street, around the corner from Milk and Honey, but the rent would've busted his "shoe-string budget." So in January he'll taking over the former <a href=http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/jacks_luxury_oyster_bar/index.html>Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar</a> space in the East Village; come March, he'll be offering cheese plates and light food. Not only this, but a project in Long Island City is also in the works. <em>&#151;Daniel Maurer</em>

Sasha Petraske, owner of Milk and Honey and Little Branch, not to mention one of the city's most revered mixologists, plans on expanding his mini-empire. Shockingly — for those who aren't aware that Petraske worked at Von before conquering the cocktail world — the new venture will be a wine-and-Belgian-beer bar; he's calling it the Mighty Ocelot ("I really like cats," he tells us). Petraske first applied for a beer-and-wine license at 226 Broome Street, around the corner from Milk and Honey, but the rent would've busted his "shoe-string budget." So in January he'll taking over the former Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar space in the East Village; come March, he'll be offering cheese plates and light food. Not only this, but a project in Long Island City is also in the works. Daniel Maurer
